According to U.S. Attorney George L. Beck Jr. for the Middle District of Alabama and Special Agent in Charge Jeff Fulton of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, nine of the 10 allegedly did knowingly sell firearms to convicted felons.

Four of the 10 are charged with the unlicensed sale of firearms.

Underwood is charged with selling a firearm to an out-of-state resident.

"Court records indicate that some of those charged with illegal gun sales had been convicted of a felony themselves, which prohibited them from even possessing a firearm," the DOJ said.

As a result of the arrests, the DOJ said ATF agents seized more than 200 firearms and 5,000 rounds of ammunition.

If convicted Cohen, Chudzick, Dean, Grimes, Knowles, Jones, Loftin, Sloan and Sly face a prison term of up to 10 years, a fine of not more than $250,000 and a term of supervised release of not more than three years, according to the DOJ.

Underwood faces a prison term of not more than five years, a $250,000 maximum fine and a term of supervise release of not more than three years.
